An unbiased press?

Gwen Ifill the "neutral" PBS Washington Week commentator is due to be the moderator for the Vice Presidential debates. Who is the McCain camp deserves getting the sack, 'cause there has been some malpractice (if political consultants can be said to have a "practice") going on.

Ifill is about to publish a book, "The Breakthrough," that "aims to 'shed new light' on Obama and other 'emerging young African American politicians' who are "forging a bold new path to political power." Uh huh. Ifill, in case you might not have noticed, is also "African-American." She also works for PBS ... not exactly a hotbed of conservative political thought, but known to be "in the tank" for just about any liberal cause or candidate.

Now how can McCain's managers let her under the tent flap to "moderate" the debate? Did someone remember to take their stupid pill? Their "I want to throw this election through blatant mishandling pill?" Did any GOP operative bother to review her reporting on Palin after her convention speech: Ifill looked and sounded as though she had been forced to savor a toe-jam sandwich. Admittedly, she would be preferable to Couric ... but how about Baba WaWa? Walters is unarguably of the left-leaning pursuasion, but also a consumate professional who would never let personal opinion interfere with her profession.
